The City Within Your Speech

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's keys, the 'city' is the field of your consciousness, and the 'blessing of the upright' is the steady state of awareness that affirms good. The 'mouth of the wicked' is your own rebuttal of fear and limitation—your negative thoughts and doubts that topple your inner city. When you inhabit the state of being upright—steadfast, grateful, loving—the outer world follows suit, lifting the city into view. The verse does not describe social politics so much as inner psychology: every thought acts as a decree that blesses or curses your environment. If you find your life feeling overthrown, do not combat the world but revise the inner speech until you feel the exaltation. Your imagination is the architect; your I AM, the witness. The city rises as you dwell in the feeling of fullness, not the fear of lack. Practice persistently declaring the state you desire, and let that state be your truth. The external scene will align as the inner alignment holds.
